In July of last year, Villain released their online Sci-Fi FPS, Archetype, and ever since then have steadily been releasing content updates for the game. Just recently, Villain has finally released a free version labeled “Archetype Cadet” that allows you to test out the online multiplayer all for free. Archetype Cadet features:

Archetype Cadet is the FREE training ground for the best, most intense online FPS action from the world of Archetype. Engage in fast-paced, 5-on-5 team deathmatch battles to see if you have what it takes to survive and win.

Archetype Cadet includes:
• INTENSE ONLINE TEAM DEATHMATCH PLAY WITH UP TO 10 PLAYERS PER MATCH
• 2 HARD-HITTING LEVELS: INVIDIA AND PRIDE ROCKET ARENA
• ACCESS TO 5 ARCHETYPE WEAPONS FROM RIFLE TO SHOTGUN TO ROCKET LAUNCHER
• MELEE COMBAT AND 2 TYPES OF GRENADES
• RADAR FOR TRACKING ENEMIES AND TEAMMATES THROUGHOUT THE MATCH

I own Archetype and I do have to say it is a really good Sci-Fi FPS and really worth the $0.99. However if you want to get a rough idea of the game and get a feel for it, pick up Archetype Cadet. If you absolutely love first person shooters, I highly recommend you pick Archetype right from the start. Oh, and you can check out our full in-depth review of Archetypehere.
